Question

2 Sam is a manager in an office.

She wants to buy 14 new chairs.
Each chair costs £73
Sam will also be charged 20% VAT on the cost of the chairs.
Sam has £1200 to buy the chairs.
Is £1200 enough to buy the 14 chairs?

Answer 1

14 X 73 = 1022

1022/100 X 120 = 1226.4

1226.40 - 1200 = 26.40

No Sam does not have enough she is 26.40 short.
